"no sex policy"

Which slogan shall we pick for our organization? I kind of like "child molestation." Dude, these are all way too good. Let's put them all in quotation marks on our van.Thanks to Halsted who saw this outside the USS Hornet aircraft carrier in Alameda, California.

Haha! The comments are almost as good as the quotes themselves. I don't think I have anything to add, except to say that at first glance, this guys' message gets a little muddied "No Sex Policy" makes it sound like he's trying to STOP policies that limit abortion and the like.

And to put in my political .02, hasn't it been shown time and time again that telling tens NOT to do something, rather than teaching them to do it smartly and safely while encouraging them not to, is always counterproductive?

Upon looking up the , I even more confused about what these people want. The site talks about the appalling lack of education for foster children in the US. But it simply declares "No sex!" without explaining what sex has to do with foster-child illiteracy.It does demonstrate one of the author's points well, though: the author is a former foster child, and clearly s/he was poorly served by whatever schooling she received.

Okay, so what are they for? Do they know that any US state that accepts money from the government for education (all but three) is required to only teach abstinence and is only allowed to talk about failure rates of contraception, but never about success rates? I mean, I don't know what else they want from the government, it sounds like the US already fits there illogical "we don't give a shit about kids" agenda...

Can't believe more people didn't pick up on "We're rebuilding healthier generations." That nearly killed me.

Which generations are you rebuilding? The healthier ones? Maybe you should rebuild the unhealthy ones first. Or try building healthy ones.

I'm thankful for the link in the comments, which is absolutely rife with grammar and punctuation errors, in which the author calls for better education for Foster children. And at the bottom, a phone number with a Georgia area code is listed, even though the van was in California. I can at least surmise that this person received an education in Georgia public school system.

I'm just at a loss on this one. Rather than duplicate all the other excellent comments previously given, I'll also note that this is a horrendous exercise in typography and design as well. And how much did it cost to ruin a perfectly good vehicle with such illiteracy?

Agree! The longer you force ignorance and abstinence, the longer they still aren't ready for sex. Soon we'll be seeing "Stop early 20s sex!" and by then they have moved out so you can't do anything anyway. =p

Reading it as it is printed, "No Sex Policy" seems to suggest they have no policy on sex... not that they have a "No Sex" policy, which the other quoted phrases seem to be pushing. This one is sheer wonder, and a personal favorite on this blog...

I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
